Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 718

The room wasn't big with shabby furniture. Even the quilt on the bed was broken.

However, it was still way better than Flora's damp mud house.

Nancy closed the door carefully after she entered the room. Then she inclined to the door and listened for a while.

She healed a sigh of relief only after ensuring that Sammy and his wife had gone downstairs for rest. Then she took Natalia to her bed, and they sat down.

"Show me your wounds. How're you doing? I was terrified. I was freaking scared when I woke up without you by my side!"

Nancy said, eyeing Natalia up and down.

Natalia let herself be examined for a while, and when she stopped Nancy and said, "I'm fine. I was worried about you. I heard you broke your leg. How is it now? Is it bad?"

Natalia saw Nancy limping on her left leg as soon as she came in, and there seemed to be a big lump underneath her pants.

Nancy said, "I'm fine. I fell on mountain rocks and broke my leg. I've reset it with their help. It's no big deal, but it's going to take a while."

Natalia knew it must be severe upon hearing what Nancy said.

It was a fracture, not a dislocation. Traumas like that would take Nancy at least three months to get recovered. Natalia knew Nancy only said that to ease her worry.

She fell in silent for a moment, patted her hand, and said, "Take a good rest. Now that we've found each other, let's play it by ear. We'll eventually make it through."

Nancy nodded.

It was late. They didn't want to sit up all along, so they lay down together with their clothes on.

This was the most reassuring time Natalia had had in the past several days.

With Nancy's presence, she felt that she could handle all the situations no matter how dangerous they were.

Then the two exchanged their information about the current situation.

Natalia told Nancy about the village and some other details.

Nancy told Natalia about things in this place, too.

Only then did Natalia know that the village was called Macchi Village. It was far more closed and remote than Flora Village which she had stayed in.

There were no advanced vehicles or communications. Most people wouldn't leave this place all year round.

They didn't need to go outside because they were self-sufficient.

Even if they couldn't find what they needed in the village, they could go to a grocery store dozens of miles away. That place had almost everything.

They would get some of their farm produce there for the money.

However, Nancy had found something astonishing during her two days' stay in this inclusive village.

There were more men here than women.

Moreover, those women looked very dull and silent.

She had already come back to her senses when they rescued her on the mountain rocks.

Therefore, she had seen the faces of those they encountered on their way here.

They looked at her like an intruding monster.

They looked confused and dull. Nancy could also see sympathy in their eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.

But she couldn't figure out why they stared at her like that.

She hadn't been out for the past two days because of the fracture.

However, she couldn't live with Sammy and his wife, either.

Their gaze on her was just as creepy as others on the streets.
